Barticus, your analysis is dangerous to this club. If you're so deluded you think our problems start and stop with Roy you're seriously mistaken.
Greetings Martinmarx, deluded calling....
Obviously i don't blame Roy for all the problems at the club, which i pointed out earlier in the message i think? But most of them ...yup, that's me...3 months ago on the roy hodgson thread i said Roy had till xmas to prove himself...he's done that all right...get rid...
The following are other helpful reasons to why i have given him till xmas and seen that this can't continue...
1. He's a manager who has won nowt in his long history of football management..
2. When one of the most loyal players of LFC aka Reina has his doubts, this after backing the club to the hilt and signing a new 5/6 year contract...
3. When the rest of the players (mostly internationals) look at you and think 'dead god, i know rafa had his foibles but at least he changed things on the pitch (best substitute use for example) and didn't start rubbing his head and start praying to whichever god for divine intervention'
4. When those players aren't playing with any passion cos they're certainly not getting it from management...(the reason see next point)...
5. To be utterly defeatist...
6. When you mirror one of rafa's main faults, and have your favourites (who aren't even as good as Kuyt and lucas)...
7. When you turn on every player, babel, pacheco, torres, maxi, cole (who he'd never have signed of course - being played in the right position might help) and have no real loyalty to anyone other than Woy oh and Fergie and his red wine...
8. Fergie and his cosy red wine chat...
9. By not putting players in their correct position to the benefit of the team but to the benefit of the 100+ a week ego's...Gerrard and Cole want to play in a central position in midfield - lol! can u imagine???...maybe we should put Gerrard in control and we can all follow Newcastle's lead...
10. Managing the team, you know Roy, playing to your strengths and not what the tabloids and broadsheets tell you how you should be playing...
11. Oh and to cap it all, you turn on the fans who have every entitlement to boo the team and Roy after letting WOLVES and before that NEWCASTLE, STOKE, EVERTON, BLACKPOOL and 80% of the top 5 beat us....(though booing Roy bought players is out of order - though i think more of a message to Roy than anything else)
p.s. oh and as for the 'don't change the manager midterm cos that's not our way'...if Spurs didn't 2 years ago and left juan de ramos with his 1 point after 10 games, then...well now look at them...
If though martinmarx you're happy with mediocrity...well let's all jump on 'follow Roy into oblivion' and we'll all enjoy playing Brighton next season...
